Information Mary P. would like to know about your pet

I have been fostering dogs for many years. I have had to work with dogs with behavioral issues from shy to aggressive. I only dog-sit one dog at a time because I wouldn't want to throw too many dogs together. My dog is very lay back and will adapt to his guest easily.

A typical day

We live in a suburban area with plenty of walkways and parks. I take the dogs on several daily walks. They get their breakfast and dinner on a regular schedule.

Pet care experience

We have fostered dozens of little and not so little pups over the years and would be happy to care for your dog while you are away. Your dog will become part of our family during his stay and our dog is the best to make them feel welcome. We work from home so they are never left alone. The patio door is constantly open letting them roam in and out of the house as they pleased. They will get at least 2 long walks per day and they will be petted numerous amount of times. We have fostered puppies from 6 weeks old up to senior dogs and will adapt our activities to your dog's needs. We only accept one dog at a time to make sure they get the care and attention you would expect. Thank you for considering us!

Great experience! We were very happy leaving Luna with her family. Mary shared photos and updates throughout the week, and Luna clearly received great care and attention, as well as access to all of Rover's toys (which she loved). We would happily bring Luna to Mary again!

Mary was wonderful! We left the country with limited cell service but each time we were able to receive messages, updates and pictures came through from the previous days. The communication was great and we weren't left to wonder how Pepper was doing. Pepper came home rested, happy, and even freshly bathed! 😆 We would absolutely recommend and utilize Mary's care again!

Mary did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Romy. He is somewhat high maintenance, being hairless and needing clothes and a coat; and sleeping in a special bed, but Mary made him comfortable and feel right at home. She sent pictures and updates daily too! Thanks!! Brooke

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
